When Zhao Donglin took his son Heidan into the courtyard, his face could be described as black as the bottom of a pot. Jiahui and Meixiang were holding the bamboo poles to drive the chickens back to the cage.
"I came back very early today, what's the matter?"
Jiahui put down the bamboo pole and walked over, not only Zhao Donglin's face was pale, but Heitan also lowered his head and didn't speak, Jiahui thought it was Heitan who made some mistake to make Zhao Donglin angry, and wanted to come forward to persuade him not to care about the child. I saw Zheng Yuefen coming in expectantly.
Zhao Donglin nodded to Jiahui, indicating that he was fine, then turned to look at his sister standing beside him and asked, "Are your parents at home? Go and call your parents, I have something to say."
"Oh, Mom is tired and lying in the house, and Dad hasn't come back yet in the field."
Mei Xiang didn't know what happened, anyway, looking at her elder brother's appearance, she seemed to be quite serious, and her heart began to beat rapidly for no reason.
Like Meixiang, Zheng Yuefen was also drumming in her heart. She knew that her eldest brother must be very angry. She drank cold water and stuffed her teeth. She was talking nonsense just now. She was really anxious and annoyed. Seeing that her eldest brother called her in-laws when she came back, she must tell her in-laws about it, and Donghe will know it when she talks about it!
Zheng Yuefen immediately had a strong desire to survive, "Brother, I was talking nonsense just now, don't be angry with an ignorant person like me, I promise I won't talk nonsense again in the future."
There was a rare cry in the voice, which shocked both Jiahui and Meixiang.
Zheng Yuefen has always been a person who does not stop crying when she sees the coffin, and who is disgusted when she dies. After arguing so many times, she has never seen her in such a hurry. Obviously, Zhao Donglin bumped into something serious this time.
Zhao Donglin was unmoved. He had heard this kind of assurance too many times. He had given her countless opportunities before, hoping that she would find out her own problems and make changes for the better.
Zhao Donglin can guess what she wants to say next, instigating a six-year-old child or his own nephew to harm his family is no longer a small mistake to take advantage of, but a poor character that cannot be tolerated.
He winked at Meixiang and told her to go to the field quickly, "And your second brother, just say I have something to do with them."
"good."
Meixiang bit her lip and ran out, Zheng Yuefen heard Zhao Donglin asked Meixiang to call Zhao Donghe back, she rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Donglin's arm, and said pleadingly, "Brother, I really know I was wrong, you must not Tell Dong He that he will really beat me to death, and I am still pregnant with a baby, so please forgive me for the sake of the child."
Jiahui felt that her eyes were really opened. This kind of vulgar and bloody plot in the TV series was really staged in front of her. She watched Zheng Yuefen tightly clutching Zhao Donglin's arm and sticking it to Zhao Donglin's body like a bullshit plaster. She ripped it off.
She was just about to go up, Zhao Donglin seemed to see through her thoughts, and stopped her, "Don't come, go to the house and call mom."
At this moment, Zheng Yuefen's image in Zhao Donglin's mind had already been equated with a lunatic, and Jiahui was pregnant, if Zheng Yuefen took the opportunity to push Jiahui, then there was really no medicine to regret.
As soon as Zhao Donglin finished speaking, Zhang Qiaoer had already walked out of the room.
"What's the matter, this is, howling in broad daylight, what's so ugly about it."
The siblings clutched at the elder brother's arm and howled like they were slaughtering a pig. They were still in the yard. If they were seen by the neighbors, their family's face would be embarrassing.
Zhang Qiaoer walked over to circle Zheng Yuefen's creaking nest, and forcefully opened Zheng Yuefen's hand. Due to Zheng Yuefen's too much force, Zhao Donglin's sleeves were wrinkled.
If it wasn't for the fact that Zheng Yuefen was pregnant, Zhang Qiao'er really wanted to scratch her face directly.
"What are you doing, what kind of troubles are you making, you can't stop for a while every day?"
The matter at noon was not over yet, but there was another commotion within a few hours. To make the good-tempered eldest son angry like this is definitely not a trivial matter.
Zhao Donglin told Zhang Qiaoer what Zheng Yuefen said, "I endured those little things before, but today this has violated my bottom line. The black egg is still young, and it is time for correct guidance. As an aunt, she can conceive Is it maliciously instigating the child? If I hadn't encountered it and stopped it in time, I really don't know what she would say next, and what bad influence it would have."
Jiahui looked at Zheng Yuefen and was also very angry, not only for herself but also for the idiot.
A child with memories has experienced the pain of being abandoned by his mother since he was a child. The people around him should give him enough care so that he can get back the lost maternal love. But the truth is, there are always people who use the child as a raft to deal with it. My lord, how innocent the child is!
Jiahui walked up to Heidan and knelt down, touched his little head, and said softly, "Heidan, you are a good boy, you should be able to tell who is sincere to you, look at our house, grandma and aunt I really treat you well. My heart for you is the same as that of my grandma and aunt. What my aunt told you is not true. Even if I am pregnant, my feelings for you will not change. Whether you have a younger sister or not, you are their big brother, you should love him (her) like you love Ying Bao, because we are a family, and a family should love each other."
"You have to remember that people who are sincere to you will not teach you how to hate others. If someone instigates you to do something wrong or provoke our relationship, that person definitely does not really love you. What happened today you Don't think too much, let's learn to feel with our hearts together, and don't be affected by others' words."
Heidan looked at Jiahui, his silent face looked extremely pitiful, and the emotion in his eyes was not at all like that of a six-year-old child.
Just when Jiahui was at a loss for words, Heidan nodded, obviously agreeing with Jiahui's words.
In fact, Heidan didn't believe his aunt's words. The child's criterion for distinguishing good from bad is very simple, that is, whether the person treats him well or not.
He knew that Jiahui was not his own mother, but as time went by, his memory of Wang Mei gradually became blurred. He only knew that since Jiahui appeared in his life, she had always been gentle to him, and everything happened. No matter how big or small, he made clothes for him, bought him food, taught him to read and write, and often told him some interesting stories. He had long regarded her as his mother, or his imaginary mother.
When playing with other children in the village, few people will use the stepmother to attack Heidan, because the world of children is very simple. They see that Heidan always has new clothes to wear, candies and snacks, and embroidery. Wearing a small animal handkerchief, and telling many interesting stories, such as "The Tortoise and the Hare", "Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf", everyone often said enviously, "Heidan, your stepmother is so kind to you."
"Heidan, let's change mothers. I will give you my mother, and you will give me your mother."
"That's not Heidan's real mother, that's Heidan's stepmother."
"I also want a stepmother like this."
"My own mother is not as good as Heidan's stepmother."
"That's right, my own mother didn't make me clothes or buy me food, and beat me every day."
I’ve heard it a lot, but I really don’t think stepmothers are so bad. Instead, they become a symbol of glory. Some children still yell at this when they go home, such as, “You’re still my own mother, not as good as someone else’s stepmother. "And so on, what I got was naturally a meal of fried meat on bamboo boards from my parents.
Seeing Heidan nodding, Jiahui was relieved. This child has a heavy heart. She was really afraid that he would take Zheng Yuefen's bastard words to heart. Then she would not be able to get pregnant. It was not because he was afraid that what Heidan would do would be bad for her, but Afraid of exacerbating Heidan's psychological problems, the relationship between the two became more and more distant, and finally reached an irreparable situation.
She got up and took Heidan's hand, pointing to Ying Bao who was sitting on a small bench eating candy with a confused face, and said, "You are a good boy, so, take your sister to the house, the adults want to talk about it." Children can't listen to important things."
Heidan really wanted to say that he was no longer a child, he was several years older than Yingbao, but Jiahui looked into his eyes and finally nodded obediently.
Jiahui breathed out, walked to Zhao Donglin and whispered, "Let's go to the main room and talk, it doesn't look good to be seen by others."
Zhao Donglin nodded.
*****
"What happened at home?"
The girl looked for her anxiously in the field. Zhao Manzhu was in a state of panic. His face was glazed by the sun over time, and his elder brother Zhao Mancang saw him and followed him to see what was going on. Is there anyone who can help.
Mei Xiang glanced at the second brother next to her and said nothing. She was too embarrassed to say anything about the second sister-in-law in front of the second brother.
A few people ran back from the field in a hurry, but there was no one in the yard, only Zheng Yuefen was crying and talking in the main room, and Zhang Qiaoer scolded her throat.
Zhao Manzhu thought it was because of the noon matter that his daughter-in-law had sex with the second child's family again. Zhao Donghe was smarter than his father, so he knew it was definitely not because of the noon matter, and Zheng Yuefen must have committed some stupidity again.
"What's the matter, what happened?"
Zhao Manzhu entered the main room and asked quickly, Zhang Qiaoer patted his chest and sighed, "I really can't be in this family anymore. I made a fuss over a bowl of noodles at noon, and instigated Heidan in the afternoon, saying that Jiahui didn't really treat him well, and let Heidan treat Jia well." Hui started, I really don't understand, I've been a diligent person all my life, how could I have such a vicious daughter-in-law, this is not a family, this is simply a disaster, a shit-stirring stick."
Zhao Manzhu was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, Mei Xiang also widened her eyes in surprise, Zhao Mancang didn't have legs or anything, and thought that something happened to his younger brother's house, so he came here to help, but he didn't expect it to be a family scandal, but he It's all here, it's not good to leave immediately, you have to listen again.
After Zhao Donghe heard what Zheng Yuefen did, he thought he would be very angry, but later found that his mood was very calm, there was no anger, only deep disappointment.
He lowered his head, feeling ashamed to say anything, Zheng Yuefen was more scared seeing Zhao Donghe like this than seeing him angry, she was really crying now, she shook her head while crying and explained, "Mom, I didn't, I really didn't .I'm Heidan's aunt, and it's too late to hurt him. How can I pay him back? The elder brother just listened to me. I was just joking, not what he thought... "
Zhang Qiaoer couldn't be bothered by the noise, she insisted that Zheng Yuefen didn't match her words, and cursed angrily, "Okay, shut up, can you swear by the sky? Can a character like your elder brother still frame you?"
Zhao Manzhu sighed and sat down, and pushed a bench for his brother.
Zhao Mancang never imagined that although this niece and daughter-in-law had a bad temper and cared about things, she had never seen that her mind was so upsetting before that she became unknown to others.
It's a good thing that I don't have such a daughter-in-law, otherwise my life would be really bad. Isn't this what is commonly known as a prodigal wife? Whoever has such a daughter-in-law is doomed.
Now that everyone is here, the uncle just happened to be here too, so he can help to be a witness.
"Mom, dad, uncle, I've made it clear what happened today. What I'm going to say now, I'm really worried about the temperament of my younger siblings. I'm really worried about my children living in the same yard with her."
One word stirred up waves, and everyone understood what Zhao Donglin meant.
"Donghe and I are brothers. This is a fact that cannot be changed for the rest of our lives. I thought that as long as we work together as a family, we will be able to live a happy life, but looking at it now, it seems that the distance is sweet and the near is smelly. No matter how good the relationship is, it is easy to have conflicts every day. As an uncle, it’s not easy for me to care about my younger siblings. While we still have some friendship, it’s better to separate the family. I am the eldest son, so I should support my parents. As long as my parents have no other opinions, I will take care of my parents. What about the rest? Let’s discuss it with everyone.”
Zhang Qiaoer was not surprised that the elder son would say this. Zhao Manzhu looked at his elder brother while smoking a cigarette, Zhao Donghe was blank, Jiahui sat in the corner without speaking, acting as a transparent person like Meixiang. The whole hall, said by Zhao Donglin After finishing speaking, she fell silent, and a few seconds later, Zheng Yuefen was the first to react.
"I don't separate my family, I don't separate my family, why should I separate my family, I don't want to separate my family!"
This is quite a mouthful, and you can rap with music. Seeing her crazy appearance, Jiahui felt a little embarrassed. Of course, she was even more surprised that Zhao Donglin would say the word "separation" so firmly. After all, Zhao Donglin is a A person with a strong sense of family, this is related to his ten years of experience in the army. In the army, he lived and died with his comrades, and saw all kinds of bloodshed and sacrifices. Therefore, he is more dedicated and tolerant. Life can be lost at any time, so what else is important
A man with this kind of trait actually lives a very tiring life. He wants to be nice to everyone and protect everyone, which means he has to suffer more.
Just like in this family, Zhao Donglin handed over his salary to his mother without complaint or regret, and handed over the year-end bonus of the veteran's allowance to Jiahui, leaving only a few dollars for himself.
He can tolerate other people's gossip, doesn't care about marrying a divorced woman, takes Jiahui's preferences to heart, and takes good care of Jiahui's family. Although such a man is not perfect, he has his advantages , in such a specific age, he was already considered a reliable man.
